WordPress 2.7 Beta 1

Around the Web
The first beta of WordPress 2.7 was released last week and it looks like 2.7 is going be a pretty fantastic release. 2.7 has some major improvements and rearrangements of the admin area, (hopefully) fixing many of the issues that people had with the new admin redesign when it was introduced in version 2.5.
Op111.net has a great list of eleven new features in 2.7 including mass editing of posts and pages, being able to reply to comments from the admin, threaded and paginated comments and much more.
2.7 was initially scheduled for a November 10th release, but they’ve pushed that back a couple of weeks for some extra time to perfect the release. There will be a release candidate coming out on the 10th and it will “be a high-quality, almost-finished release that we are comfortable recommending for broad use”. Then they will use the next few weeks to fix bugs that early adopters report before putting out the final release.
Until then, you can download the beta version and see what we have to look forward to. If you do try out the beta don’t forget to take these polls from the developers and let them know about your favorite features.

Weblog Tools Collection and Binary Moon both have new posts about the upcoming changes and features in WordPress 2.7. It’s currently scheduled for an early November release, so there could still be a lot of changes yet, but it’s shaping up to be a really great release. They look to be optimzing and streamlining the new interface that was introduced in 2.5 as well as doing some major work on the dashboard and the Write page. Very exciting! Check out the posts below to find out more details and see some screenshots of what 2.7 may look like:
